PCN for stopping on a Red Route

Atreyu107

Hi All,

Have a received a PCN for stopping on a red route a while back. I stopped within a red dashed box, but outside the allowed 'loading time' of 10am - 4pm, and within the 7am - 7pm restriction time.

Have checked the highway code, and it states that you may not stop to park, load/unload or alight/board other than at the time described, however I had my engine running for the duration and must have been stationary for about 45 seconds.

I suspect there's nothing I can do about it, but just wanted to check whether being stationary briefly constitutes 'parking' for this purpose, and whether it's worth appealing.

Thanks all,
A

Red routes are ''no stopping at all'' so I don't expect you have a case here, but post on pepipoo to ask for their input:
